"...the shape is exquisite and small, and the appearance is strange. So far, nothing similar to this thing has appeared in the history of the human countries in the subcontinent."
The day after returning from the ruins, in a research room of the Scholars Association of the Kingdom of Origen.
Raphael and Xing Yihuang sat aside and told a scholar everything they encountered in the ruins. Several scholars in plain clothes walked around the table in the center of the room, their eyes like hawks staring at the Viper pistol placed on the table.
Occasionally, someone walked into the reading room nearby to search for books, trying to find information related to this strange object. However, several hours passed, and no scholar recognized the true identity of this Viper pistol.
Seeing the anxious faces of those scholars, Raphael was not surprised at all. The reactions of these people were within her expectations.
In the year after becoming an adventurer, Raphael basically spent his free time reading books, with the purpose of learning everything about the God of Creation and Saint Valentine.
As a result, such a long time passed without any progress in the husband-finding plan, and this angel became a competent historian.
According to the knowledge she got from history books, this world has almost no achievements in science and technology. At present, the conveniences people enjoy in daily life are inseparable from magic. Naturally, there is no such thing as "electrical appliances", let alone firearms.
This spotted viper gun is a creation beyond the knowledge of scientists in the magical world.
"It is worth noting that we did not feel the existence of any magic from this little thing. Moreover, its material is something we have never seen before, and this material has not been mentioned in history books."
The young scholar sitting opposite Raphael glanced at the Viper pistol in the center of the room and sighed softly.
"I am not a believer in the Creation God Religion. Everything told in that 'Holy Word' is a false fantasy story to me."
"But this thing broke my understanding..."
"Maybe the God of Creation really exists."
His voice sounded a little depressed, as if he was annoyed that he had been wrong about his beliefs.
"Didn't you try 'using' it?"
Raphael looked at the creation that she was extremely familiar with and deliberately emphasized the word "use".
"Or do you think this ancient creation is fragile and keep it under a magic shield?"
Since arriving in the research room in the morning, Raphael has noticed this "holy" handgun and the almost completely transparent sacred magic shield covering it.
It is an intermediate magic that is often used in experiments. It can effectively isolate the influence of the outside world on the inside and create an environment similar to the "vacuum" of the real world.
However, this shield cannot resist the attacks of intermediate-level magic and above and most magical creations. This is also a necessary compromise to achieve the condition of "almost complete transparency".
"When you brought the 'sacred object' over, we immediately moved it to the shield."
Raphael's layman's words surprised the young scholar.
"You should also understand how fragile the products left by ancient civilizations are..."
“There have been many accidents in the Scholars Association where improper operations resulted in cultural relics turning into waste, so we regard preservation as extremely important.”
"Didn't you immediately use the 'Mini Cultural Relic Shield Generator Type 3 Enhanced Version 2 Modification' to cover it after seeing the sacred object?"
This thing with a name that sounds very like the naming style of the Rhode Island Department of Industry is the latest research result of the Scholars Association. It is only half the size of a palm, but it can produce a one cubic meter shield, which can be freely adjusted in size and supports unfolding. When the cultural relics inside are included in the space ring, it is a very convenient and practical cultural relic protection prop.
It's just that the price is a bit expensive, costing several thousand gold coins each, and the production capacity is extremely low. Currently, there are only about a dozen scholar associations in the Kingdom of Origen.
"Well."
Raphael felt a little guilty, but there was nothing wrong with her expression.
"Yes, I strictly followed your request. After collecting the holy objects, I left the ruins and sent them to the Scholars Association as soon as possible."
Xing Yihuang, who was sitting next to Raphael, glanced at the angel and said nothing.
"That's good."
The scholar felt relieved.
But in fact, when Raphael saw the spotted viper, he did not unfold the shield in time to cover it. Instead, after being stunned for a few seconds, he stepped forward and held it in his hand, followed by a set of skillful moves. Check the operation of the magazine opening safety and pulling the slide to load.
She has practiced this set of movements for twenty years and has already engraved it in her heart.
What responded to Raphael's skillful movements was the silky feedback of the Viper pistol. There was no jerky feeling when the magazine safety sleeve moved, giving her the feeling of using a handgun that had just left the factory.
Not only the feel, but also the long history has not left the slightest trace on the appearance of the Spotted Viper.
It should obviously be a cultural relic from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but it looks like something from last week.
After recording what they saw and heard in the ruins, the young scholar left and devoted himself to searching for information.
Since no one knows what the "holy object" is, the only solution is to turn over the book to solve the problem.
Stupid, but effective.
The Scholars Alliance did not issue an expulsion order to Raphael and Xing Yihuang. Those people seemed to have forgotten the existence of these two star adventurers and devoted themselves to research.
Xing Yihuang was not in a hurry. He sat on the sofa and watched the scholars work, occasionally taking a sip of the red scented tea on the table.
This is the most common and most popular tea drink on the mainland, loved by both young and old, men and women. Xing Yihuang became a prisoner of the red flower when he took his first sip.
The companions are leisurely and contented, while the scholars are busy and anxious. Raphael thought for a moment and decided to tell them the truth.
As for the information exposed...
Anyway, the Human Alliance is currently very friendly to them, and they should not plant dangerous seeds.
"Everyone, I have something to say."
She walked to the platform where the sacred objects were placed and said to the busy scholars.
No one paid attention to her, not even the young scholar who was chatting with the girls just raised his head. He still focused his eyes on the book in his hand, as if his soul was sucked into the book.
Raphael was not annoyed, he just cleared his throat and closed the magic shield covering the viper.
"I know what this is."
Her voice was softer than before, but she managed to attract everyone's attention.
More than a dozen eyes were cast on Raphael's face, with doubts, burning eyes, and anger.
"young people."
An old scholar stared closely into the angel's clear blue eyes.
"You should understand the importance of 'sacred objects' to us."
His voice was cold, but seemed to be burning with fire.
The identity of a fantasy species may be very intimidating to officials of the Human Alliance, but for this group of scholars who only know about research, knowledge is the lifeblood.
They weren't afraid of the angels and dragons in front of them at all, and they hadn't taken action yet only because of Raphael's words.
The more you know, the more you respect knowledge.
The scholars responded to Raphael with sufficient courtesy.
"Of course I understand."
Raphael ignored the emotion in the scholar's words, but picked up the blunderbuss on the platform, turned on the safety, and loaded the gun.
The crisp sound of metal collision echoed in the room, and Angel's smooth operation made everyone stunned, with their eyes as wide as bells.
"So, let me tell you what a 'holy object' is."
Xing Yihuang drank the tea in the cup and stood up.
"after all……"
"I am a saint who had adventures with Saint Valentine, the human form of the God of Creation."
———————Half an hour later————————
This should be the most shocking half hour that scholars have ever experienced in their lives.
Because their understanding of weapons has been completely subverted.
A small tool that does not have any magic power, does not use any magic materials, and is purely made of mechanical principles, can actually have such a powerful power.
At a distance of twenty meters, what Saint Raphael called a "hand gun" could easily penetrate level three magic armor, and its penetration was comparable to a standard heavy crossbow.
And according to her story, "handguns" are weapons like crossbows and bows. They can be used without any magic power to kill the enemy.
The only thing needed are tiny arrows called "bullets."
What's this?
This is a revolution in weapons.
If this "hand gun" could be popularized on a large scale, the most ordinary farmers would be able to fight against high-level magicians with just a little training.
Although there is the limitation of close distance, this conclusion is terrifying enough.
Moreover, since the establishment of the Human Alliance, there has been no war between human countries, and the crime rate has been close to zero under the dual influence of the Creation Cult and the public security bureaus of various countries.
The emergence of this kind of weapon will inevitably be used on the battlefield against monsters.
The defense of most low-level monsters and some mid-level monsters is as good as paper, and the lowest-level iron sword can cause effective damage to them.
If when the demonic tide comes in the future, the soldiers of the Human Alliance can each have a weapon in their hands, then...
"Sacred object."
The old scholar who had looked at Raphael coldly not long ago murmured softly at this moment, and then his whole body trembled as if he had epilepsy, and his voice was infected:
"This is a true holy object! It is the gospel given to mankind by the Creator God!!"
Such a little thing has no threshold. It only takes a period of training to make people kill monsters...
Its emergence will save countless lives in the future!
Ordinary people without magic will no longer be afraid of monsters!
All people in Asia will be soldiers, and everyone will be a vanguard against demons!
Like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil, the old scholar's shout instantly ignited the emotions of all the scholars present. They hugged each other and cried and laughed, feeling extremely proud of themselves for witnessing this historical turning point.
Raphael put down the Viper and looked at Xing Yihuang with helpless expressions on his face.
"Well, I still have to remind you a few words."
"Although the materials used to make handguns are not magic materials, the cost of mass production is not low."
"And the primer of the bullet is a brand new substance, you need to crack it yourself..."
In fact, Raphael was also surprised by the Viper handgun at first, because it did not require any Originium skills to fire, and there were no Originium fragments inside the bullet. Instead, it was filled with something called a "primer" s things.
Jiao Zhengyu taught her how to use it specifically.
It was also on that grassland that Raphael learned Valentin's true identity and another name for this gun.
pistol.
"It doesn't matter. The Human Alliance has plenty of manpower and time."
The young scholar who just recorded the adventure of the ruins walked up to Raphael and bowed deeply to her.
"And we received news from the aftermath team not long ago that there were obvious traces of explosions inside the ruins, but we didn't feel any magical atmosphere, and there was no shadow of magical creations."
"Now it seems that the thing that produced those explosions should be the same substance as the primer of the bullet..."
"Even if they are different, the two should be similar."
After just listening to a few simple descriptions from Raphael, the scholar drew inferences and came to such a conclusion. The future is promising.
He raised his head, his eyes filled with uncontrollable joy.
"I heard the rumors of the 'Saint Maiden's arrival' a long time ago, but I didn't take it seriously, even when I met you later."
"But now it seems that I was too ignorant."
"You two are really the reincarnation of saints!"
In "Holy Word", the saint and the saint ended the chaos in the sub-continent, carried forward the sacred magic and the Creation God Religion, and allowed humans to unite to fight against monsters and share the same hatred.
Now, the two saints have returned to the world, giving mankind the sacred objects and brand-new knowledge left by the Creator God, giving them hope of completely defeating the monsters.
This is simply a replica of the Word.
Not only the young scholars, but also others gathered around the two and praised them. If they hadn't still had the sense to keep their distance, Raphael would have dragged Xing Yihuang away on the spot.
*Rutran expletive* Why don’t I like the church in Iberia?
That's why!
Iberian believers are crazy!
The politeness of the scholars did not last long, and they soon left the testing site and began to decipher the material composition of the "primer" and at the same time began to study the composition of the pistol.
This historic discovery soon spread throughout the human countries, and they fulfilled their promise and began to allocate manpower to carry out the "Searching for the Saint Project".
Raphael became the chief firearms researcher of the Human Alliance. Although it was very formal, he was not bound to the human government and was still free.
She just needs to provide some input during the research process.
Facts have proved that the Human Alliance's approach is correct. In addition to handguns, they also learned about the existence of assault rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns and other firearms. More and more scholars are studying this revolutionary weapon.
At the same time, scholars also began to try to integrate magic into the design of firearms, hoping to obtain more valuable weapons.
During this time, Raphael also entered a rare holiday.
All human countries have begun to take action to help her find the saint. Maybe Valentine will appear in the future.
"Yihuang."
After completing several commissions for making extra money, Raphael took Xing Yihuang's arm and walked out of the Adventurer's Guild.
The discovery of the "holy object" brought a large sum of money to the two of them. Excluding the part spent on finding their husband, the money was almost exhausted after they settled in a place to live.
Therefore, in order to spend the vacation better, they still choose to do some commissions a few days before the vacation to earn enough money to go out for fun.
"There is a famous amusement park called Tisnia in the middle of the continent. Should we go there and have a look?"
She tilted her head and leaned closely against the dragon girl. The two looked like a loving couple.
"good."
Xing Yihuang acted extremely calmly towards Raphael's intimate actions, as if he was used to it.
"Then let's go back and pack our things quickly."
After receiving a positive reply from his companion, Raphael turned into a lively girl as if he was rejuvenated, holding Xing Yihuang's hand and running towards home.
A man remains a boy until he dies, and a woman always carries the soul of a little girl in her heart.
However, the little angel Raphael's happiness did not last long. After turning an intersection, she suddenly stopped and stood on the side of the road, looking towards the middle of the road with a look of surprise on her face.
Just like any other passerby.
But unlike passers-by, Raphael's surprise only lasted a short time and was replaced by happiness.
The smile on her face was even brighter than before.
"elder sister!"
The girl waved her hand and ran towards the two people standing idle in the middle of the road. Razer came back to his senses when he heard a familiar voice and met those blue eyes.
"Raphael...?"
